"One-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern

part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease."
What theme is presented in this passage from President Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address?
a. The South wanted to extend slavery to other regions
b. The majority of slaves resided in the South
c. The Union had reasons to oppose the expansion of slavery
d. The war has outlasted some of the original causes of the war

Select the correct text in the passage.
mafiozo [28]

The line demonstrating the use of an understatement is the following:

<em><u>BOB (still looking out—looks up): Still all right up above, though. </u></em>

Having read the previous lines, the reader gets the sense that the situation is critical, the water is rising and it has already flooded the whole lower part of the hotel. However, Bob wants to diminish the emergency of the situation by stating that the upper part still looks alright meaning that the extent of the damage is not as great as Ed says.

I think the time of "the road not taken" and "song of the open road" pretty much described in the title themselves. Both tell the story of the importance of personal value and the freedom of making decision.
